在新的JFrame中添加JTextField

Question

I have a JFrame with a JButton , this button open a new JFrame where there should be a text box ( JTextField ) that I will use for a search , the problem is that I don't know how to insert it . I came up with this :

NB I'm a beginner, sorry in advance for the easy question :)

import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;


public class MainWindow {




// Seconda Finestra
public static void NuovaFinestra (JPanel panel) {

    panel.setLayout(null);



    JButton Ricerca = new JButton("Ricerca");
    Ricerca.setBounds(100, 100, 200, 50);
    panel.add(Ricerca);


    Ricerca.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
             JFrame FinestradiRicerca = new JFrame("Finestra di Ricerca");
             FinestradiRicerca.setBounds(300, 300, 500, 500);

             FinestradiRicerca.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
             JPanel riquadroRicerca = new JPanel();
             FinestradiRicerca.add(riquadroRicerca);
             FinestradiRicerca.setVisible(true);
             JTextField ciao;
                ciao = new JTextField ();
                 }
    });

}




//Main  
public static void main(String[] args) {

    //Finestra Principale
    JFrame finestra = new JFrame("Finestra principale");
    finestra.setSize(500, 500);
    finestra.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);


//JPanel della finestra principale
    JPanel riquadro = new JPanel();
    finestra.add(riquadro);
    finestra.setVisible(true);

    NuovaFinestra(riquadro);

}





}

Answer 1

You needed to add your new elements to riquadroRicerca BEFORE adding the Panel to FinestradiRicerca , I recommend you NOT to use null layout but a Layout Manager or combinations of them. If you insist on keeping null layout then see below example. But for this kind of app I'd suggest a CardLayout .

I also suggest not using multiple JFrames since they will open multiple windows on task bar which is user unfriendly. See: Use of multiple JFrames, Good / Bad Practice

As an aside note, follow Java naming conventions . For example you called a JFrame as FinestradiRicerca instead rename it to: finestradiRicerca (1st letter of a variable in lowercase).

import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;

public class MainWindow {
    // Seconda Finestra
    public static void NuovaFinestra (JPanel panel) {
        panel.setLayout(null);
        JButton Ricerca = new JButton("Ricerca");
        Ricerca.setBounds(100, 100, 200, 50);
        panel.add(Ricerca);
        Ricerca.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                JFrame FinestradiRicerca = new JFrame("Finestra di Ricerca");
                FinestradiRicerca.setBounds(300, 300, 500, 500);
                //If you don't want to close whole app when closing this windo change it to: JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE
                FinestradiRicerca.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
                JPanel riquadroRicerca = new JPanel();
                JTextField ciao;
                JLabel myLabel = new JLabel("Here goes your label text");
                ciao = new JTextField ();
                ciao.setColumns(20);
                riquadroRicerca.add(myLabel);
                riquadroRicerca.add(ciao);
                FinestradiRicerca.add(riquadroRicerca);
                FinestradiRicerca.setVisible(true);
            }
        });
    }

    //Main  
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //Finestra Principale
        JFrame finestra = new JFrame("Finestra principale");
        finestra.setSize(500, 500);
        finestra.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        //JPanel della finestra principale
        JPanel riquadro = new JPanel();
        finestra.add(riquadro);
        finestra.setVisible(true);
        NuovaFinestra(riquadro);
    }
}

So, your code after a few modifications, to make JLabel and JTextField visible gives the following output:

However, please follow my above recomendations.

Add the JTextField to your new JFrame like this. You also have to initialize your textfield. It is basically the same as you have done with the initial JFrame.

JTextField ciao = new JTextField();
FinestradiRicerca.add(ciao);
